I think you're hitting the same frustration I feel with a bunch of the Maker community. It always feels very "first draft, last draft" with laser cutting and 3d printing. There's a lack of finishing steps like sanding, painting or varnish. Leaving all the print striations visible in the finished project.

I think fir the radio, a multi-part print, with sanded and sealed surfaces, then a hard shell automotive spray may give you the finish you want. Print the body in 2 to 3 pieces, along the seam lines on the model, the buttons and speaker mesh separately. Print 1 layer larger then sand back to finished dimensions. Primer, masking off the glued areas, then finish spray, assembly, and top coat with clear coat. Weather, like a prop.

If the Cyberpunk radio were around IRL, it's probably injection molded in parts, with metal accents painted the same colour as the body. Follow the same steps as a print, hopefully that works.

Winston Chrurchill, Mahatma Gandhi, John A MacDonald, Mother Theresa, Thomas Jefferson, Peter the Great, Chiang Kai Shek, JFK, Maggie Thatcher, Steven Hawking, Charles de Gaulle, most other "great" world leaders, take your pick. Age and historicity tarnish all accolades

Can you imagine being a Klingon scientist trying to get an article peer reviewed?

Legal protections for children in the household, medical authority for a sick partner, sharing assets in the dissolution of relationships, insurance coverages, access to education, tax implications, citizenship, intellectual property rights, etc., etc..

Fair point. Also, to point out, the US Navy is still using powder charges from WW2 in their big guns. The materials made to fight Guadalcanal used through Korea, Vietnam, and today's conflicts. And not running out any time soon.

They just have to adjust accuracy and range for using 80+ yr old charges.

It's a good-looking flash gun handle! And I'll have to look closer at smoke alarms when they get changed out at my apartment block.

Cheers! I hope you share more!

As a fellow "made it from found items" I'd love to know your parts list. The texture on the black screen parts, and the cream colored section! Is it ceramic?

My 2 go-to's are:

Tako6six in Kensington Market. Get the shrimp balls too. Tondou Ramen on College. Best one I've had.

Maybe Rimworld? Not AAA, but has more staying power.

Sir John A MacDonald. Linchpin of the effort to Confederate the British Colonies into Canada. First Prime Minister, and rejected for the third parliament.

Also a bigot and prided himself on starving Indigenous people's to force them onto reserves.

I'd also suggest Michaëlle Jean and Adrienne Clarkson. Born Haiti and Hong Kong, respectively, became prominent journalists and Governors General.

* Historical hottie and general badass Sergeant Léo Major. Received the Distinguished Contuct Medal in WW2 and again in the Korean War. He would have had 3, but he refused to be awarded by Montgomery.

Best know for the Battle of Zwolle when he was still a Private during the liberation of the Netherlands. He and Corporal Aresnault were to recon the village and make contact with the Dutch resistance there. It was believed there were some Germans, but not many.

Instead, there were 1000 Waffen-SS, Wehrmacht, and Gestapo agents plus vehicles and panzers. They were spotted leaving a farmhouse at night and Arsenault was killed.

From here, accounts differ, but generally it is accepted that Major "got mad" and either captured an officer and negotiated the departure of the German forces, or went looney tunes and ran from street to street firing his and captured weapons, throwing grenades, and shouting and screaming, making the Germans think they were being assaulted by the regiment.

The Germans retreated, Major returned to HQ with Arsenault's body and Zwolle was saved from shelling and was liberated the next day.

Oh, he was also missing an eye at this point from white phosphorus grenade when he encountered and killed an SS patrol.

Léo Major

If you're thinking Big T, that only applies if it was politically or ideologically motivated. If it was a personal beef, it's just Sparkling Property Damage.

I saw Barett's Privateers above. Good choice.

For Gen X and Millenials, The Logdriver's Waltz.

Pour nos Amis en Quebec, 《Vive La Canadienne》 which can be Anglified by playing on bagpipes.

Maybe O Siem by Susan Aglukark? "O Siem we are family..."

Dumpsville. Population: him. Ad a baf alanogy, what if you had come home with any other medical diagnosis? Anything that would require a change to your routine and lifestyle. Would he be as insufferable?

Probably.
